BACKGROUND/AIMS: Microalbuminuria is a marker for early kidney disease and cardiovascular risk. The purposes of this study were to determine the prevalence of microalbuminuria in an HIV-infected clinic population, to test the predictive value of a single urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) to identify persistent microalbuminuria and to examine covariates of microalbuminuria. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study of HIV-infected subjects (n = 182) without proteinuria (urine protein/creatinine ratio ≥0.5 g/g), elevated serum creatinine, diabetes, or chronic inflammatory conditions. Subjects completed three research visits within 9 months. Microalbuminuria was defined as the geometric mean ACR of 25-355 mg/g for females and 17-250 mg/g for males. RESULTS: The prevalence of microalbuminuria was 14%. The negative predictive value of a single urine ACR determination was 98%, whereas the positive predictive value was only 74%. Microalbuminuria was similar among Black (15%) and non-Black (14%) subjects (p = 0.8). Subjects with microalbuminuria were more likely to have hypertension (p = 0.02) and metabolic syndrome (p = 0.03). While duration of HIV infection and the level of HIV viremia were similar between groups, those with microalbuminuria were more likely to have a CD4 count <200 cells/μl (p = 0.0003). In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, the only significant independent predictors of microalbuminuria were low CD4 count (p = 0.018) and current ritonavir exposure (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of microalbuminuria in an HIV-infected clinic population was similar to earlier reports, and was associated with hypertension and impaired immune function. A single normal ACR determination effectively excludes microalbuminuria, whereas an elevated ACR requires confirmation.
